Four to chose from here but it would be fair to say that Dhaudeloup will prove difficult to beat. Although he is yet to win over fences he has been twice successful over hurdles and has been knocking on the door over the bigger obstacles lately to suggest that his next win is only round the corner. Of his rivals Amadeus has has been in blinding form of late with wins at Plumpton over hurdles and Hexham over fences. He remains in form but on his hurdles rating has much to find with the selection. She's Our Native and Flower Of Pitcur would have to improve on their level of form to reach the winners enclosure. So for the winner we return to Dhaudeloup.
